The Trans Sporter Room Ep127 -- Chelsea Poe on trans athletics, trans rights and weaponizing trans bodies

One of the points of discussion of those who have been adversaries of transgender women in sport specifically is how a person body is used against them as evidence that they "don't belong".
In the current discourse leading into this week's NCAA Division Swimming and Diving championships, the bodies of both transgender student-athletes competing, Penn's Lia Thomas and Yale's Iszac Henig, have been studied, discussed and in some cases weaponized .
It is something seen before in sport, but this case seems hit some more raw places, especially when Lia Thomas, as a transgender woman, is the center of this conversation
To get a perspective on it, Karleigh Webb sits down to have a discussion on this critical underlying issue with someone for whom such issues are her business, and question on justice surrounded anthem has been her cause. Chelsea Poe is fast becoming a top-drawer erotic filmmaker and performer, with a global performer of the year award to her credit in 2021, and she's only 30.
She also been one to be unspoken to make her space and many spaces safer from transgender people to navigate. As a relative rookie in the game she was speaking out and helping stamp out slurs and fetishization in the craft, and as a youngster made an impact while also making her own name.
In she also manages to squeeze in something about something that moves her as much as creating content and speaking up for trans rights. She's a rabid Michigan Wolverines fan.
Oh by the way, did someone say "bracket"? With "March Madness" opening this week, both Karleigh and Chelsea present their bracket as the 2022 Final Four awaits!
